TERRAFORMING TERRA
We discuss and comment on the role agriculture will play in the containment of the CO2 problem and address protocols for terraforming the planet Earth.
A model farm template is imagined as the central methodology. A broad range of timely science news and other topics of interest are commented on.

Biological Nanobot Responds to DNA Signals

We are now on the verge of serious directed intervention in the human body at the cellular level. This matters because we have had to dump massive amounts of otherwise semi benign chemicals into the body in order to produce a positicve shift.

Now it is possible to send one thousand arsenic atoms to deal with one thousand cancer cells or at least imagine the equivalent.

That really does open the door for essentially correcting everything even if we cannot get the bhody to do it itself.

Nanotechnology
has taken another significant step in the technology tree to becoming a
reality for medicinal (and other) purposes, according to this article
shared by Mr. V.K.:

Note some intriguing things here, from the beginning of the article:

A
research group at Tohoku University and Japan Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology has developed a molecular robot consisting of
biomolecules, such as DNA and protein. The molecular robot was developed
by integrating molecular machines into an artificial cell membrane. It
can start and stop its shape-changing function in response to a specific
DNA signal.

\

This is the
first time that a molecular robotic system has been able to recognize
signals and control its shape-changing function. What this means is that
molecular robots could, in the near future, function in a way similar
to living organisms.

According
to the article, this little nano-bot is only one millionth of a meter
in diameter. This may seem significant, until one recalls in his 1986
nanotechnology classic, Engines of Creation, Eric Drexler noted
that IBM had been successful in spelling its name with 35 xenon atoms,
and, even more breathtakingly, AT&T had constructed the first artificial atom. That was in 1986!

But to return to the article, why is a shape-changing nanobot significant? The answer:

The
realization of a molecular robot whose components are designed at a
molecular level and who can function in a small and complicated
environment, such as the human body, is expected to significantly expand
the possibilities of robotics engineering. The results of this study
could lead to technological developments that could help solve important
medical issues -- such as a treatment robot for live culturing cells
and a monitoring robot for checking environmental pollution.

"The
paper by Nomura and coworkers represents a major step towards the
development of autonomous soft microrobots," says Dr. Friedrich Simmel,
professor at the Technische Universität München. "Based on this
achievement, in the future similar systems could be developed that
display artificial phototaxis or chemotaxis, or similar 'intelligent'
behavior."

Indulging in a
bit of high octane speculation, one can envision that such technologies
could be made to change shape and latch onto various pathogens, which
have their own peculiar shapes that some believe allows then to attack
human cells; AIDS and cancer cells could thus, by the DNA signals that
they give, attract such nanobots which could then attach themselves to
the disease cells and literally attack them, injecting them with
terminal drugs. In short, a major step in the technology tree has been
taken, proven, and the door is open to modifications of the basic
technology that would conceivably usher in a very new and very different
kind of chemotherapy.

And
of course, if one indulges high octane speculation a little further,
this is the ultimate biological weapons possibility, for programmable
nanobots could conceivably be designed to attack only certain kinds
of genetic signatures. One might go so far as to envision such
technologies that could be injected into a target population and
activated at a later date by the introduction of chemical triggering
agents or electromagnetic signaling, giving a new, literal, and
terrifying meaning to the term "sleeper cells."

And
if we can think of it, one can rest assured "they" have as well. In
this respect, it's worth recalling once again what my co-author Scott
deHart and I wrote in Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas,
for we pointed out there that a key area of research for DARPA, the
Defense Advance Projects Research Agency, or as we like to call it
following a suggestion of Mr. J.B., the Diabolically Apocalyptic
Research Projects Agency, is nanotechnology.

About Me

Apr 2017 - 4.1 Mil Pg Views, March 2013 - Posted my paper introducing CLOUD COSMOLOGY & NEUTRAL NEUTRINO rigorously described as the SPACE TIME PENDULUM, September 2010 I am pleased to report that my essay titled A NEW METRIC WITH APPLICATIONS TO PHYSICS AND SOLVING CERTAIN HIGHER ORDERED DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS' has been published in Physics Essays(AIP) and appeared in their June 2010 quarterly. 40 years ago I took an honors degree in applied mathematics from the University of Waterloo. My interest was Relativity and my last year there saw me complete a 900 level course under Hanno Rund on his work in relativity,as well as differential geometry(pure math) and of course analysis. I continued researching new ideas and knowledge since that time and I have prepared a book for publication titled Paradigms Shift&. I maintain my blog as a day book and research tool to retain data and record impressions and interpretations on material read. Do join my blog and receive Four items of interest daily Monday through Saturday.
